Opto-electronic devices

Opto-electronic devices are technological components that convert light into electrical signals or vice versa. They include devices like photodiodes and LEDs, which detect light or emit light when electrically powered. These devices are essential in communication systems, such as fiber optic networks, where they transmit data as pulses of light. They also play roles in cameras, sensors, and displays. By bridging the gap between optics and electronics, opto-electronic devices enable high-speed data transfer and precise light measurement, making modern communication and imaging technologies possible.
